Pokémon Evolution/Capture/Release Thread

Cilan didn't catch anything in BW026.

Any proof?

swadloon... i think it will evolve by bw34 any comments? :P

agreed, they really need to evolve it ASAP and since the episode titles up to 32 are confirmed and 33 is sopposed to focus on Elgyem, 34 would be best or even before that if possible

Any proof?

No proof, but it's kind of obvious.

I think Cilan should catch something in the next 5-6 episodes. I dunno about Cottonee, I'm looking at Litwick. I too think Oshawott should evolve, but not until at least Clay or Skyla. Maybe even Brycen. I can picture Ash with Dewott, but not Samurott. Like said before, the writers don't want Ash loaded with powerhouses (which is why Ash didn't get Garchomp and Rhyperior in DP). Snivy? Not for a while. I don't want a redux of Tranquill, rising up to the evo that Trip has. Tepig? I have no clue. Scraggy, it's staying Scraggy. I don't think he'll evolve for a LONG TIME. I think it'll be like Phanpy. Maybe in the league. Swadloon. I agree with Rusty, we've seen Leavanny already, I'm kinda tired of it. I see Swadloon evolving around Skyla. 4X weakness challenge! Either that, or Tranquill. I don't see her evolving until at least Skyla. I think one of the two I just mentioned will evolve then. That leaves Dwebble, because Axew and Pansage are practically out of the question and Emolga and Excadrill don't evolve. I don't see Dwebble evolving. Maybe Axew could evolve in like, the last episode, but, I really doubt it. New catches? For Ash, two more MAX. Iris, though, will probably have a full team by Opelucid, and Cilan, maybe four, five Pokemon. Unfortunately, he won't live up to the glory of Ash.

I think Pokabu won't evolve. If so, he will be like Torterra, who evolved twice just to lose more battles.

And I also think that Tsutarja is the Chimchar/Treecko from Unova, she will evolve twice and be the main powerhouse of Ash's team. Hopefully Oshawott will evolve, but I don't have much hopes about this.

And I wanna a episode focusing Scraggy. He needs to fight and learn new moves, to evolve later.

we have seen all their evolutions though :/ thats why i was hoping for a sandile capture... all of ashs current pokemon (with the exception of scraggy who will not evolve for along time if he does evolve that is) have already had their evolutions appear and many of them owned by a main character... i remember when evolutions were really exciting like when we 1st saw charizard but now people couldnt care less about it :/ thats one of the main flaws in the newer anime... pokemon are not as impressive or as exclusive as they used to be ash just gets excited no matter what he see's its all the same :/
sorry off topic... swadloon should evolve soon seeing as it evolves by happiness which is ash's pokemons strongest characteristic

No proof, but it's kind of obvious.

What makes it obvious?

[martianmister]

No proof, but it's kind of obvious.

We hardly seen his Ishizumai after its capture episode. So it's not really obvious...

[Mucrush]

In the Pokemon Smash intro we see only Pokemon which Ash, Cilan and Iris got... not saying it IS confirmed by that, but I think that, because the Cottonee is in it, either Ash, Cilan or Iris will catch it! I think it will be Cilan because Iris just caught Emolga... but of cause we can't be sure, but its just interresting that the others are there and then Cottonee is there too :b

I don't understand why everyone is thinking so few of Ash's pokemon will evolve. I remember in DP people were saying Turtwig wouldn't evolve because it reminded them of Bulbasaur. No one thought Chimchar would evolve because it represented how strong a pokemon can be without evolving. Just because Oshawatt is comic relief and cute doesn't mean it won't evolve and the same goes for Tepig, Snivy, and Scraggy. It is perfectly likely that any of them will evolve. I personally all of them will and should evolve.

also for those who are saying since none of the starters have evolved yet it won't happen. I would like to remind you that Turtwig didn't evolve until right before the fifth gym in Sinnoh and the only evolutions before that were Starly into Staravia and Gligar into Gliscor. There is still plenty of time for evolutions to occur.

[Reila]

I wonder if a steel or ghost type will be caught by someone in the main cast. Maybe a Ferroseed or Pawniard to Dent and a Litwick or Golett to Ash/Iris.

[L-05308]

I'll be the first to bring it up, I don't think it likely and don't want it but its possible Oshawoot will evolve in BW031

and opps

lets hope he dosen't catch it

[Reila]

Ash's Oshawott is still one in the movie poster, so he will not evolve.

Question and answer, I feel stupid now

[TPrower]

Seeing the relationship between Ash and his Pokemon, it probably won't take long for Swadloon to evolve into Leavanny, and I have a feeling he'll have an Unfeazant in the end too. I'd prefer for Snivy and Scraggy to stay how they are, and for Oshawott to at least go no further than a Dewott. As for Tepig, given the status of Ash's other Fire starters, I don't think it's a stretch to think he'll have an Emboar in the end.

[Reila]

Tepig will receive a similar treatment as Cyndaquil, IMO.
